The men also got a bye and will host the winner of the Webster University/Maryville (Tenn.) University game, played Feb. 28. Tickets are $4 for adults and $3 for seniors and students. The box office will open at 2 p.m. for the women's game and 6:30 p.m. for the men's. KFNS (590 AM, 100.7 FM) will broadcast both games live. Top-ranked men eke out overtime victory Junior Matt Tabash hit a layup with 2.6 seconds left in overtime as the Bears defeated host University of Chicago, 64-62, Feb. 16. Washington U. became the second team in University Athletic Association history to go undefeated in league play and stretched its school-record winning streak to 20 games. The Bears also set a single-season record with 24 wins. With the score tied at 62 in overtime, Chicago's Derek Reich missed two free throws and WU's Chris Jeffries pulled down the rebound to set up Tabash's heroics.

Junior Laura Crowley scored a team-high 15 points while establishing a school-record 71 three-pointers.
